JON VAN ZYLE

 

 

Jon is a highly admired Alaska artist who has been creating Northern-themed paintings for more than 40 years. He has twice run the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race and he has been the Official Artist of the Iditarod for more than 30 years. He received the Alaska Governor’s Award for the Arts, Individual Artist Award, in 2019. We have a number of Jon’s original paintings and also reproductions.  We also carry this year’s official Iditarod poster and print. 

47th Annual Iditarod Poster for 2023 by Jon Van Zyle, "Drawn to the Trail," is available. $49

Jon ran his first Iditarod race in 1976 and in 1977 he produced the first official Iditarod poster to help raise money for the cash-strapped race. It was very successful and the Iditarod committee asked him to continue producing the posters each year since.
